refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecs

2015-07-27T16:21:31Z

Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*" within a component instead of only as the whole component. Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic in check_refname_component(). Pass the pointer to the flags argument to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when it sees "*". Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*" only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec contains at most one asterisk. This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`. Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with the new logic.

Add new @ shortcut for HEAD

2013-09-12T21:39:34Z

Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead. The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume 'HEAD'. So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness. Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Revert "Add new @ shortcut for HEAD"

2013-08-14T22:04:24Z

This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u} applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it shouldn't. The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing use cases for now for the upcoming release.
